Imagine a world where technology not only makes our jobs easier but also delivers solutions we never even dreamed of—welcome to the future of AI, where your next favourite podcast could be hosted by voices that aren’t even human. This groundbreaking tech is not just changing the game, it’s rewriting the rules!

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (07 October 2024) – With technology constantly advancing, it’s easy to feel like we’re already living in the future. But every now and then, a new innovation emerges that doesn’t just improve our lives—it transforms them. This is exactly what’s happening with the latest AI tools, designed to make our jobs easier, more creative, and packed with solutions we didn’t even know we needed. From enhancing productivity to giving us access to information in ways we never dreamed of, AI is changing the game.

And now, Google’s latest AI-powered podcasting tool, NotebookLM, is leading the charge, and it’s beyond unreal. Seriously, it will blow your mind!

If you haven’t heard of NotebookLM, brace yourself. This tool is revolutionising how we consume and create content, specifically in the podcasting world.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “With this Google tool, you can make a show about any topic you could possibly imagine. The hosts aren’t human. You won’t believe your ears.”

Yes, you read that right! NotebookLM allows you to create an entire podcast with AI-generated hosts who sound so real you’ll want to hang out with them. The hosts bring a calming tone, seamless banter, and an almost encyclopedic knowledge about literally any topic under the sun. Whether it’s space exploration, ancient civilisations, or the latest in tech innovations, these AI hosts have got you covered.

Earlier this year, I attended a global media forum where AI technology was the star of the conversation. Experts from all over the world shared their thoughts on how AI isn’t something we should fear but rather a tool we should embrace. The key message? AI isn’t here to take over—it’s here to help. The possibilities with AI are truly endless, and the future of media, education, and creativity will thrive if we utilise it wisely.

So, here we are, embracing it!

Introducing the Good Things Guy AI Podcast! Yes, you heard that right! We’re so excited to announce that we’re launching the Good Things Guy AI Podcast, powered by AI technology just like Google’s NotebookLM. Every week, we’ll bring you an inspiring podcast that wraps up the week’s most heartwarming and uplifting stories.

Why? Because we believe in embracing the future. Staying ahead of the curve means pushing boundaries, trying new things, and adopting innovative technologies like AI to make our work better and more enjoyable for you. Imagine listening to a podcast filled with positive vibes while you’re driving, cleaning, or just taking a break from the hustle of life. That’s what we’re delivering, and we’re so thrilled to be doing it with the help of AI.
